    If you understand the point that people shouldn’t be unitaskers, then yeah, more people would learn how to farm in this kind of world. More people would spend time doing waste management or construction or gardening or street-sweeping or meal delivery and on and on. Experts would have a chance to see the world from the perspective of the people who have to live with the decisions their expertise influences, and they would be able to make more grounded decisions.

    This isn’t about getting rid of experts or specialised forms of production, it’s about freeing people to not commit to a single task their entire lives.
